So ya think ya know about The Batman,eh? Well, here's the story straight from the man who created him. Bob Kane, one of the rare souls who was able to have some control over the destiny of his brainchild, lays it all out in his whimsical, informative and flamboyant manner. Kane not only tells us about how the Batman came to be, but gives us insights into the kind of world that would give birth to such a character--the Post-Depression era. While Superman was an answer to a cry for help, Batman reflected the "bootstrapping", tougher than shoe-leather type spirit one needed to survive in those days. Kane also reveals his secret mentor and discusses the members of the cartooning studio he created to help him chronicle the Caped Crusader's adventures: Jerry Robinson, George Roussos and most important of all Bill Finger, Kane's studio writer and right-hand man, whom many consider to be the unofficial co-creator of The Batman. Although naysayers challenged some of Kane's assertions when this volume was first published, Kane's claims were later verified by persistent historians.While reading this book you'll laugh, cry, stare in bewilderment and give out a big "Hoo-Hah!" with Kane leading you all the way! It's the kind of book that would make even the dreaded Batman smile...occasionally!
